Chapter 214 Creator Ilúvatar
In the underground palace of the Woodland Kingdom, the moonlight poured down from the cave on top of the prison and solidified into a radiating beam of light.
In the beam of light, all the particles that should have been floating in the night wind were frozen, including visible dust and invisible particles.
Legolas's handsome face solidified into a look of horror. The sadness in the eyes of the Elf King Thranduil outside the cell was vivid. The clone of Lin Zhongtian beside him and the silver-colored Void Seal in front of him were also like those sealed in amber. Still at this moment like an ancient fossil.
The line of sight extends from the underground palace to the entire Black Forest, the Great Wilderness, and even Arda, as well as a sub-universe.
All things that were moving were frozen due to the arrival of this great will.
The world thus becomes a living yet dead three-dimensional picture.
In this picture, only two great wills are unfettered.
One of them is the creator who caused all this, Ilúvatar.
The other one was an existence that Ilúvatar had never expected - the outsider who suddenly appeared.
Now, two great wills descended on the underground palace of the Woodland Kingdom at the same time, and fell into a short and strange silence after realizing each other's existence.
Lin Zhongtian didn't know why Ilúvatar was silent.
But his silence was due to the shock and faint guilt of the scene before him.
He did not expect that his actions would directly attract Ilúvatar, and he did not expect that this guy would have such a big reaction and imprison all the time and space of the entire universe as soon as he arrived.
Is this the scene where the Creator appears?
But then again, why can his subjective consciousness still think clearly?
Is it possible that his subjective consciousness is as powerful as the Creator?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Lin Zhongtian decisively denied this arrogant speculation.
Although he does not know how wide the breadth of his own power is, he is very clear about the depth of his own power. Currently, the strongest ability of his subjective consciousness is the spatial authority of the void gap.
Except for this, no other ability can compare to the Creator who can control time, create life, and create the universe.
So why is he not bound by the power of Ilúvatar?
With such doubts, Lin Zhongtian remained silent with a guilty conscience.
Perhaps a moment passed, or perhaps hundreds of millions of epochs passed, the two great wills finally had their first conversation in this static universe where time and space had lost their meaning.
"Who are you?"
"A passing traveler."
Lin Zhongtian replied calmly.
He wanted to maintain his integrity as much as possible and prevent Ilúvatar from seeing his guilty conscience.
But Ilúvatar's next words plunged him into rare embarrassment and astonishment——
"I'm not asking you."
Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but froze for a moment after sensing the conscious message without any emotion.
Immediately afterwards, Ilúvatar seemed to communicate with an existence through some unknown means.
"That's it, I understand..."
With a sudden realization, Ilúvatar's consciousness fell into the body of the Elf King Thranduil.
In an instant, the Elf King Thranduil and the clone of Lin Zhongtian wearing silver armor who were standing in front of the cell were freed from their restraints.
Lin Zhongtian's main consciousness poured into the clone like a river flowing into the sea, and then he frowned slightly and looked at the smiling Elf King Thranduil beside him, or Ilúvatar who was possessed here.
"Nice to meet you, my friend."
Ilúvatar smiled and stretched out a hand towards Lin Zhongtian.
Lin Zhongtian frowned and shook hands with him in surprise.
"You are Ilúvatar?"
"Yes, my children call me that." Ilúvatar said with a smile, "But you don't have to call me that. Ilúvatar means the father of all things in Quenya, and [ "atar" means father. You and I will be friends in the future, so just call me Iluvi..."
"……future?"
Lin Zhongtian keenly captured this keyword.
Ilúvatar laughed, stretched out a hand to touch the solid moonlight, and whispered softly in the voice of the Elf King: "I'm sorry, friend, this was my mistake. I didn't recognize your identity at the first time. I just thought you were an outsider like Legolas, at most slightly stronger than him in terms of strength..."
Are you sure it's just a little bit?
Lin Zhongtian looked at Him with black lines on his head.
Ilúvatar chuckled, turned to look at Lin Zhongtian and said: "I discovered your existence when you just crossed over. At that time, I only saw your split soul. That was the only thing I had seen since my birth. The most beautiful soul in my life, so I made the decision without hesitation to make you the new Vera of this world and a part of this magnificent movement."
"So, from the moment I appeared, you have already taken action against me?"
"Take action? You are thinking too much!"
Ilúvatar laughed and shook her head, then explained with a chuckle: "I just made a decision..."
Lin Zhongtian said blankly: "Just made a decision?"
"Yes." Ilúvatar nodded with a smile, "Existences like you and me don't need to take action at all. They can affect the fate of everything in this world with their will alone - do you think the existence that is trying to twist your will is me? No, that’s just my expectation for the great movement of the Ainu, and this expectation has turned into a power to correct the fate of the world. This is what is trying to twist your will."
Can just a sense of expectation turn into a power to correct destiny?
Ilúvatar's understatement made Lin Zhongtian once again feel a little shocked from the Creator.
Seeing Lin Zhongtian's appearance, Ilúvatar couldn't help but smile, seeming to enjoy this feeling very much.
"Actually, if you hadn't carved the mark of the void and summoned your main consciousness, I would never have appeared."
Lin Zhongtian raised his eyebrows: "Even if I ruin your music?"
Ilúvatar raised the corner of her mouth, looked at Legolas in the cell, whose expression and movements were frozen, and said in a calm tone: "Anyone who attempts to change the music will prove that he is just a tool in my hands, used to design him. Nothing more wonderful can be imagined..."
I understand, an unqualified being cannot even notice that his will has been quietly distorted by this power of correction.
And Lin Zhongtian is obviously the qualified being...
Lin Zhongtian said thoughtfully: "The existence that I just communicated with you is me in the future, right?"
Iluvatar smiled and nodded: "To you, yes, but to me..."
Ilúvatar shook her head and did not continue to explain.
But Lin Zhongtian already understood what He meant. In front of this great Creator, time is meaningless. The weak Lin Zhongtian now and the powerful and unpredictable Lin Zhongtian in the future are the same existence.
No matter which timeline Lin Zhongtian is, there is no difference to Ilúvatar.
After figuring this out, Lin Zhongtian gradually gained confidence.
After all, according to Ilúvatar's wishes, he can become a being like him that transcends time and space in the future.
"alright, I got it."
Lin Zhongtian nodded, then turned to look at Legolas in the cell: "So, you actually discovered him a long time ago, and the fusion of his souls with Legolas was also your work?"
"I did discover him a long time ago, but the soul fusion is not my handiwork, but a miracle of the world."
"Wonder of the world?"
"That's right."
Ilúvatar looked at Legolas in the cell with admiration, and sighed: "How many multiverses can it take for two such similar souls to be born on the same timeline, even just by touching them?" Perfect fusion, and how many similar souls can meet across the distance between worlds - isn't this a miracle?"
"A miracle indeed!"
Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
Ilúvatar glanced at him and said: "This miracle corresponds to my expectations of the music, so the correcting power of fate will prevent you."
Lin Zhongtian smiled and said: "But you won't stop me, right?"
Ilúvatar shook his head: "No, I will stop you. This is a miracle of the world. It is difficult for even me to copy. You don't think I will be generous enough to give you this rare fused soul, do you? "
……ah?
Lin Zhongtian's eyes widened and he looked at Ilúvatar in surprise.
Ilúvatar said seriously: "Soul fusion is not uncommon, but natural fused souls are very precious, not to mention that both souls exude dazzling brilliance. Even I can't handle such precious souls. It cannot be easily created.”
"So, you won't separate their souls either?"
"Unless, of course, they find their own way to separate."
Ilúvatar nodded and replied, then he looked at the expression on Lin Zhongtian's face, and said with a chuckle: "I know, you seem to sympathize with Thranduil and the experience of these two souls, and I am the same, but there are When you are young, you have to learn to let go. Both elves and humans are my children. But now, countless of my children are killing each other every day. This has lasted for three epochs. Now, do you think I still care? ?”
After saying that, before Lin Zhongtian could answer, Ilúvatar nodded to herself: "Yes, I care, but what I care about is not their life and death, but their existence and the life they perform."
As he spoke, Ilúvatar looked at the ground at his feet, and saw that he waved his hand gently, and the ground was broken by the newly born saplings. A tall peach tree grew at an extremely fast speed in the imprisoned space. Growth, then flowering, fruiting, falling leaves...
When the dead leaves fall away, the dead leaves floating in the air solidify again.
Ilúvatar picked off a piece of solidified dead leaf, looked at Lin Zhongtian and smiled: "Life and death are just two states of life, just like this peach tree, which cycles between blooming and falling every year. Will you cry when it falls?"
"No, you won't, because you know it will bloom next year..."
This is the transcendent perspective of the Creator.
